Soaking Tub | Deep Soaker Tubs

Hydrotherapy can be found in non-jetted tubs

Soaking in warm water
will sooth the body, boosts cardiac output, lower blood pressure and
improve circulation. Water also hydrates the skin and helps your pores
eliminate toxins. These tubs are not jetted, so therefore, offer the quietest relaxation option. A perfect cure for busy, hectic life styles.

What is considered a deep soaking tub? It depends on your body and how you recline in your tub and how long the bathing well is. Some lean against the backrest, some slouch. To see what depth is best for you, take a look at the technical sheet for the length of the tub at the bottom. Mark the tub length on the floor, sit or slouch against a wall. Measure to see how much water is needed to cover your shoulders. Some consider anything over 17" of water depth is a deep soaking bathtub. More on deep soaking tubs →

Water Depth

Overflow
Every tub has an overflow; a 2 1/2" hole drilled below the tub rim. When the water level reaches the overflow it flows into the drain to keep the tub from overfilling. Where the overflow is drilled depends on the bath tub. Most technical sheets will show the measurement from the bottom to the center of the overflow. Subtracting about 1 ½ from the measurement will give you an idea of how many inches of water the tub will hold. Other technical sheets will give the water depth.
On the above drawing there is 15 1/2" from the bottom of the tub to the center of the overflow. Since water will flow out from the bottom of the overflow hole, this bath will hold just over 14". I have heard that installers have put the overflow cover on upside down so the slot is at the top. Since the water fills to the top of the overflow hole, water depth would be just under 17". There is also the option of using a product like Deep Water Bath Overflow Cover (amazon.com). This is a clear plastic cup with suction cups. Place it over the overflow with the hole at the top. Works the same as installing the overflow cover upside down.

Can a Bath Tub be Too Deep?
Yes. The technical sheet will also give you gallons of water the bath will hold. A general rule of thumb: 2/3 or 3/4 of the water will be hot water, the rest is cold. Let's take a look at one of our deepest tubs – Hydro Systems Monterey. This is a two person, 72 x 42, tub with a center (side) drain and two sloping backrests. The floor length is 50" and depth to overflow is over 20" – lots of soaking room. This bath will take 60 – 68 gallons of hot water. This will be a problem with a 40 gallon water heater.
If the bath tub is also going to be used as a shower, think about rim height. Usually over 20" - 21" is difficult to climb over on a daily basis to take a shower.
